Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and concussions. Our neuro-optometric rehabilitation addresses visual processing disorders through customized therapy programs, syntonic phototherapy, and advanced diagnostic techniques to restore functional vision and improve quality of life. Dr. Guhl's expertise in this rare field helps patients overcome symptoms like double vision, spatial disorientation, and visual fatigue.
Vision Therapy
Personalized programs for developmental and acquired vision problems. Using evidence-based techniques, we treat conditions like convergence insufficiency, amblyopia, and visual processing disorders through in-office sessions and home exercises. Our therapy improves eye coordination, focusing abilities, and visual-motor integration for children and adults, particularly benefiting those with learning-related vision issues or sports performance goals.
General Eye Exams
Complete ocular health assessments for all ages, including refractive error correction, glaucoma screening, and cataract evaluation. Our exams utilize advanced diagnostic technology to detect systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension through eye health indicators. We provide prescriptions for glasses, contact lenses, and pre- and post-operative care for LASIK and cataract surgery patients.
Low Vision Therapy
Specialized care for individuals with permanent vision loss from macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy. We implement adaptive strategies and optical aids to maximize remaining vision, improve daily living activities, and enhance independence. Our approach combines magnification devices, lighting solutions, and personalized training to help patients maintain quality of life despite significant visual impairments.
Contact Lens Fitting
Customized contact lens solutions for complex cases, including keratoconus, post-surgical correction, and dry eye management. We offer specialty lenses like scleral lenses, orthokeratology molds, and multifocal designs. With access to over 50 lens types, our fittings ensure optimal comfort and vision correction for patients who have been previously told they cannot wear contacts due to challenging prescriptions or ocular conditions.
